Braves Sign Edwin Jackson

[MadduxFanII]

Major League contract.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

Yay

Seems like an okay middle relief option. We need live bodies in the pen at this point and Edwin is at least that... I think.

3 or 4 years ago, this would be a pretty awesome team.

Maybe with a few of his patented implosions we'll lock up a Top 5 pick.

I loved Edwin when he first came up. Had great stuff, but never put it all together.

I, too, suffered from premature E-Jax adulation.

Let's just be glad he won't get the chance to mentor Wood.

Yeah, but It's curious to sign E-Jax after having been so concerned about Wood blowing up.

Yeah, but It's curious to sign E-Jax after having been so concerned about Wood blowing up.

Especially after being so dissatisfied with Johnson's assorted explosions.

I'm concerned for Jackson's future since McDowell is his pitch coach again.

Weren't we going to trade Uggla for Jackson at some point?

 

[MadduxFanII]

I think Julio and I have the combined emotional maturity of an eight-year-old boy.

I definitely remember talk about a potential Upton for Jackson swap.

Not disagreeing with you on that!

An 8-year-old? Damned lies and calumny.

At LEAST 12.
